A famous stunt dare devil comes to Ponyville but there more to this pony that meets the eye

A famous stunt dare devil and a thief that leaves money at places he breaks into, what is the connection between the two and why both deceed on Ponyville? And does Rainbow Dash and Flutteryshy know who this thief really is? (one shot chapter story)

I made this story seem like it was part of a episode, it was something I thought up and decided to create lol.

Also my character reflects some of the differculties I had in real life with bullying (which continues by groups of pointless teens and young adults mostly when I am at work or on the streets when they notice me -_-)

The Thief that Gives

The Thief that Gives

The Thief that Gives (MLP)

Lightning flashing outside the castle of Canterlot at the dead of night with some of Princess Luna’s guards keeping a watchful eye of the castle taking their shift over Princess Celestia’s guards as they leave to get their rest, unaware of this a small bird zipping through and around corners keeping out of sight moving around in the darkness.

It hovers with the wings flapping rapidly at one of the windows it push the lock up opening the window as a pony covered up from hoof to head enters keeping to the dark with the little bird. The pony nods and they move through the castle and keeping out of sight heading straight for the very room where all the windows show important events that happened in Equestria.

The Pony stood before the set of windows showing the six ponies using the elements of harmony, flying up to one of them taking a good look at the detail of the landscape in the pain glass windows. The little bird seeing the one window that caught their eyes, the pony taking out a camera and takes a photo with a flash and unaware that Princess Luna was walking the halls and notice the flash of light

“What is thou going on in here?” Princess Luna push open the door looking around to see nothing out of sorts “Strange there was a light… a flash, no thunder” she walks in and above the pony that broke in held on to the wall, seeing a chance the pony lands on the ground and Princess Luna turn around to see the intruder “Hold thou! Thy intruder will stay”

The pony in black just saluted to her and closed the door as the pony left with the small bird “INTRUDER!!!” she boomed with her Canterlot voice with the guards rushing to her location to see the pony at a window holding a bag in one hoof with a salute the pony toss it over to them with a scroll tied to it and flies off out of the window.

The guard quickly rush to the window looking around to find only several flashes of lightning and rumble of thunder but no sigh of the pair they just saw, Princess Luna came up to them “Beg our forgiveness Princess Luna, they have escaped but they did leave these…”

Princess Luna push the bag and gold bits rolls out of it “A bag full of bits… why would the intruder break in and leave money?” Luna was rather confused by this action and using her magic open the scroll up to read it out load.

“Forgive my break in, I had no intention to steal anything, just looking for clues of an foalhood friend. For the inconveniences I caused here is a bag of bits, this should cover for the disturbance” she read and stared at the gold bits “Sighed the Night Thief… so the pony finally came to Canterlot… but why thy leave money behind… a thief steals not give…” they all stared at the gold bits with a unsure set of eyes.

Unaware the pony that broke in took a glance at the camera and to the castle with a turn the pony walks into the shadows with the small bird following into the night of Canterlot City heading to the train station with the sound of the whistles as it prepare for departure…

>My Little Pony Music intro<

Rainbow Dash speeds through town taking out the clouds with each hit with a hind hoof, punch and a loop a loop, she lands at the café right before Twilight whom was reading a newspaper “Hey Twi. What you think? I beaten my best time yet, it going to be a great sunny day”

Twilight look to the sky with a smile and goes back to read “That great Rainbow Dash, I am just reading something really interesting here at the moment”

“What more important about a weather mare clearing the skies huh?” Rainbow Dash took the newspaper from the magic that Twilight used to hold it and reads the headlines “Oh you can’t be serious about reading this rubbish” she saw it was about the thief that stuck again this time Canterlot Castle

Twilight took it back “For a matter of fact it not rubbish and Princess Luna even put some words into this herself… it seem this thief not only broke in without breaking a single lock but got into the very hall where the windows show us on it” Twilight explained to her feathered friend

Rainbow Dash shaking her head “Oh come on you really believing that?”

Twilight continues to read “The pony intruder also left a large sum of bits with apology letter for breaking in, also stats this pony is looking for a friend from their foal hood and each of these places funny enough are places only a pegasi would go”

Rainbow Dash yawning “Yeah yeah whatever. I got stunts to…” a group of ponies rushing by them caught her attention “Scootaloo what going on?” Rainbow Dash stops the filly.

“Rainbow Dash his here! He really came to Ponyville! I can not believe he answered the Cutie Mark Crusaders letter!” Scootaloo was very excited by the arrive of somepony.

Twilight was wondering now whom this pony was “Who this he? You speak of Scootaloo?”

“The Masked Bolt of course!” Scootaloo frees herself from Rainbow Dash and using her wing power on her scooter shoots off to the train station.

Rainbow Dash gasped “You can’t be serious!? Him here! Oh I got to see this!”

Twilight stops her quickly holding onto her tail “Who is this Masked Bolt?”

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes “Oh come on Twilight, you must of heard of the awesome daring dare devil Pegasus that flies through the most intense lightning and always get through it without a sweat!”

Twilight put a hoof on her snout “Masked Bolt… Masked Bolt…” her eyes widen “your talking about the one that does stunts and give the money to those that really need it aren’t you?”

“Duh of course egghead, now come on! We got to see this” Rainbow Dash flies off to the train station and Twilight runs with the small gathering crowd at the train station.

At the Train Station the train pulls in and with a halt the doors open with two ponies in black suits, white shirt and black tie step out with black sunglasses on looking around at the cheering ponies and with one nod from one of them the guest of honour step off the train. A stallion pegasi standing before them wearing a black flight suit on with lightning bolts across it with a cloak on and hat on hiding the mane, tail and cutie mark from view, wearing goggles too no pony could get a good sight of the masked pony.

The cheers grew instantly as he stood in his stunt pose with a grin with some mares fainting from the pose he gave them, another pony steps out of the train in a business suit “Alright enough seen, let the Masked Bolt through” he waved them all to clear a path.

Rainbow Dash could see him from where she was flying “Oh my gosh it really is him”

Scootaloo pushed her way through the crowds and fall flat on her front before Masked Bolt with him stopping the scooter with one foot, lowering to her level he push it back to her and pushing up his goggles a little on one side she could get a good sit of one eye and the coat colour of this pony. “Be careful there kid” he whispered to her quietly “here front line seats for you and your Crusaders” he with the other hoof put the tickets into her hooves and pushing back down the goggles he walks by with the bodyguards and manager to the Hoof and Stay Inn close to Sugar Cube Corner.

Scootaloo saw she had not only three but ten tickets “Whoa… he really talked to me!” Scootaloo beamed and dancing around holding the tickets close to her and pause “Yipee! I got to show this to the others” she takes her scooter and about to leave when Twilight came up to her.

“Scootaloo how did you and the others get him to come here to Ponyville of all places?” Twilight seeing the crowd of ponies following the dare devil pony

Scootaloo shrugged “All we did was write to him and told him how we haven’t got our cutie marks and then he wrote back, it was awesome”

“I say, you Crusaders did good” Rainbow Dash rubbing Scootaloo’s head “He might not be a wonderbolt but I heard of what he does though”

Twilight rolled her eyes “Let me guess, stunts, showing off and doing it all to look good and such?”

“Yeah all that but he gives almost every bit he makes to donation too” Rainbow Dash confirmed and more with delight in her voice

“If he is a great pony why hide himself under that flight suit?” Twilight seeming a bit sceptic over this pony that arrived in Ponyville

Rainbow Dash pulled her up close “It all in the mystery, all in the fun of guessing whom that cool and awesome pony is”

Twilight step away and shook her head “Whatever you say girls… I got things to do, have fun guessing who this pony could be”

Scootaloo quickly got on her scooter “Got to go, tickets to give to my friends” she dashes off on her scooter to give the good news to her fellow Crusaders.

Rainbow Dash smirked “Oh this is going to be fun” she flies up into the sky and heads off back to her home to figure out a way to unmask the stunt devil.

Fluttershy’s Cottage…

Fluttershy feeding her hens came over to Applejack whom finished fixing the fence “Th-thank you Applejack for fixing my fence for me”

Applejack hit the last nail into the fence “Nothing to it sugarcube, always happy to help a friend in need” Applejack picking up the broken parts placing them on the cart “Ah’m get this stuff back to my barn and make use of it” suddenly a small humming bird flies right in her face looking around her for a little bit.

“What on Tarnation… Fluttershy is this one of your birds?” Applejack trying to move around the bird that kept zipping around and blocking her as if it was teasing her

Fluttershy shook her head “No I never seen this little humming bird before, the way she is active and really cheerful look seem to be a pet to somepony” Fluttershy rose her hoof up and it lands on her front leg and looking cheerfully at her and humming to her. “Oh what a beautiful voice”

“Well nilly that is quite the hum this little cutie has, wonder whom the pony it belongs to?” Applejack and Fluttershy closed their eyes and listening to the singing and with a wink a pony keeping to the shadows quickly moving up to Fluttershy’s home goes inside the open door and comes out seconds later with a raised hoof the bird nods and stops humming and flies off at high speeds “Ah come on partner that sing was great…” Applejack trotting her hoof on the ground a little.

Fluttershy turn around to see Angel holding up a small box “Oh what this Angel? Where did it come from?” Angel points to the door and acts as if something sneaking in and raise the box putting it on the ground and picking it up. “Somepony came into my home and placed it there?” he nods “Wonder why…”

Applejack saw a semi bright yellow feather “Hey Fluttershy it seem the pony not only left that box but this feather behind too”

Fluttershy took a good look at it and gasped “Oh it couldn’t be… I haven’t seen that type of Pegasus feather since I was a filly…” she opened the box up and stared in amazement “He kept his promise… oh my…”

Applejack listening to Fluttershy seem a little lost rubbing her hoof on her head “Fluttershy whom is this he and do you know who this feather belongs to?”

Fluttershy put the charm on and turned around “What do you think?” Applejack saw the cutie mark charm she was wearing it was the same as her cutie mark.

“Well nilly isn’t that a shine, that pony must of but a lot work into making that. But who is he?” Applejack put forward the question.

Fluttershy felt a little shy over this topic “Oh just a friend from flight school, he promised to make me and Rainbow Dash a cutie mark charm for us when we got our cutie marks… oh I got to show this to Rainbow Dash right away, I am sure she be getting hers soon” Fluttershy flew off leaving Applejack looking a lost over the whole thing that just happened.

Applejack pushed her hat back a little “Well now isn’t that just confusing… Fluttershy didn’t even answer the question properly…” she shook her head a little “if this colt a friend of Fluttershy’s he a friend of mine and gladly shake my hoof to him if I see him in pony for making Fluttershy happy” she humming the song she heard the humming bird just sung as she walks off with the cart back to Sweet Apple Acres. “Got admit that one catching tone” she continued to hum it with a smile.

Rainbow Dash sat back with a sigh and pulled up a Daring Do book to read as she sat on the cloud, she notice a humming bird flying around her “Hey get lost, I am trying to read here” she waved it away. But it came back again

She groans “I said get lost!” but it just showed it cute look and she sighs rolling her eyes a little.

Rainbow Dash pulls the book up and ignores it this time “Not looking at ya, too busy reading”

“RAINBOW DASH!!!” Rainbow Dash eyes was huge with shock from that yell and turned to see Fluttershy in her face “Rainbow Dash I found you! Look what I got!”

Rainbow Dash look at the necklace “So what you got a cutie mark necklace of your Cutie Mark, am I suppose to be impressed?”

Fluttershy shook her head “No it not that it came from our foalhood friend!”

Rainbow Dash eyes narrowed “Ha that a big laugh, that no good for nothing friend of ours got up and left Cloudsdale to live in Hoovdon City then be with his blank flank friends, remember soon as he got it and the teasing got worse he just left all the sudden nope, nothing! Zip! So I don’t care if he here I don’t want anything to do with that pony ok!” Rainbow Dash picked up her book and dashes off with annoyance in her eyes.

Fluttershy was still at her spot in the air looking to her charm “B-b-but he bro-broke into…” Fluttershy saw the library “Maybe Twilight and the others can help…” she flies off to the Library.

In the shadows of a building the little humming bird came up to it and the pony hidden in the shadows look to the sky where Rainbow Dash was “It wasn’t by choice…” he whispered and disappear into the darkness of the building.

Scootaloo and the other Crusaders arrived at the Inn to find out that the guards wouldn’t let them get near the place “Look like that was a bust” Applebloom sighed as they walked away from the Inn

Sweetie Bell turn to the alley way “let’s just get back to our tree house ok?”

“Alright, time for a quick route” Scootaloo got on her scooter with the girls holding on and with the flap of her wings they sped off

Scootaloo suddenly in moments found a pony walking right in their line of their path “WATCH OUT!!!” Applebloom cried out.

The pony turn pulling up the goggles “Oh Celestia…”

CRASH

After a few seconds the Cutie Mark Crusaders got their bearings to see they knock down a stallion Pegasus pony with a humming bird flying around him with some concern “Oh we so sorry sir we didn’t…”

The pony turn over and sitting there shaking his head look to them with the mask half ripped he saw this and pulled it off to show a yellow stallion face with orange at the start of the mane turn into cream and black being quite long. “So much for that, right Zippy?” his humming bird gave a ‘hmmm hm’ in reply and he turn to the fillies “It’s fine just…” he look right at Scootaloo “Ah blueberries…”

“I-it-it you…” Scootaloo checking him over “It really is you, you’re the Masked…” the pony quickly covered her mouth and put his other hoof on his snout “shhh”

Scootaloo nods and he lets go “But you are aren’t ya?” Applebloom was excited “You’re the mysterious pony behind the Masked Bolt”

He smiled a little looking to each of them “Yeah that me… names Electuroo” he decided to remove the rest of the suit was wearing to show his cutie mark as well being three lightning bolts and the longish tail for a stallion they ever seen.

Sweetie Bell taking a good look at him “Wow what with the long mane and tail? Are you trying to pretend to be a girl or something?”

“Sweetie Bell!” both her friends spoke out in defence to Electuroo.

Electuroo laughing “Don’t sweat it kids, I get that question quite a few times, it just how it always been since I was a colt, I cut it back sometimes and it just grows back within weeks, so I just kept it as it is” Electuroo looking around “Do you mind if we do this somewhere that not in the middle of town?”

Scootaloo points to the direction of their treehouse “Follow us Electuroo” he joins them as they all head off to the treehouse close by to Sweet Apple Acres.

After a little time as past they arrived and Electuroo entered the treehouse itself “Wow now this is pretty cool, reminds me of the cloud club house in Cloudsdale when I was about your age” Electuroo sitting by the window seeing Rainbow Dash sitting at a cloud not too far from them.

Applebloom notice Rainbow Dash and the look at Electuroo seem to have when looking at her “By any chance do you know Rainbow Dash?”

Electuroo turn to her “Your smart kid…” he rubbed his head a little “Applebloom right?”

“Yep”

“Right, I’ve got a bad habit at forgetting names, your Scootaloo and erm…. Sweetie bell?” he point to a hoof to Scootaloo and then Sweetie Bell.

“Yeah that our names, but your avoiding our question, how do you know Rainbow Dash the coolest Pegasus in Ponyville?” Scootaloo seeming serious from the look she gave Electuroo.

He peered at the window once more “She my foalhood friend, so is Fluttershy, that club house I said, that we had going before I got my cutie mark and had no idea I was moving away from Cloudsdale at the time…”

“What do you mean moving away?” Sweetie bell rather lost by this.

Electuroo put a hoof on his snout and put it back down “Sweetie Bell we was close friends, having each-others backs against the bullies… but when I got my cutie mark it was by accident… I found out that I was immune to lightning strikes and able to bounce off clouds like a lightning bolt hence the name Thunder Bounce. That when I found out my talents… I was daring, risk taking and a real racer… I kind of strained from it partly when I arrived in Hoovdon City. I was the only one in class to have a cutie mark and they took the mick out of me, it was a real lonely foalhood since I moved there cause of my mum and dad jobs…” he explaining to them about his cutie mark and vision seeing it in his mind feeling quite sad.

“Wow and you didn’t know you was moving away? Just happened like that?” Scootaloo getting a little idea of what he was saying.

“Yeah pretty much, you’re the first three I ever told this to anypony… I usually hiding behind that mask and just doing those lightning dash stunts to earn the bits to give to those that really need it…” he looked at his own reflection. “Kind of getting sick of it now… every time I put that Masked Bolt suit on I feel like a bit more of myself is lost within it…”

Applebloom had a tear welling up “Ok ok stop please, ya making us all sad”

Electuroo turn to his friend Zippy the humming bird “Sorry girls, just some reason I could let you know how I felt about this whole stunt thing… bad enough I got guilt in me and Zippy too…”

“Wait you’re the thief too?” he nods and Scootaloo eyes widen by this time “Oh my gosh you been tracking down Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy all this time? Wasn’t ya”

Electuroo could see they was very sharp indeed and he rose his front leg with Zippy sitting it with a look of excitement “Yep that right, every time we entered a place we left some bits behind… but kind of stupid now when we think of it right bud?” the humming bird hums a little with a defeat tone in it voice.

“I think it cool, even Princess Luna thinks it strange and not even pressing any charges and all others been dropped” Scootaloo showed the newspaper clipping. “See your in the headlines”

Electuroo put a hoof on his snout thinking a little turning his eyes away “How would you girls like to bring Rainbow Dash here?”

“Why?” they all gathered and he pulled out a box and opens it before them “Whoa…” they all said together.

“I want to talk to her… just talk, it been too long and I don’t want her to grudge something that was out of my control when I was a little colt” Electuroo closed up the box “So will the Cutie Mark Crusaders help me on this mission?”

“For the amazing Masked Bolt… Electuroo I mean” Scootaloo laughing a little before finishing what she said “Anything for ya” she put her hoof out

“Oh this is going to be fun!” Applebloom put her hoof on top

“I am up for some excitement” Sweetie bell also put her hoof on top of the other twos.

“Cutie Mark Crusaders secret mission!” they all cried out together

Electuroo turn to Zippy “Ready for some fun time?” she flies around him with over joyed humming “I take that as a yes” he laughing at her reaction “Alright girls here the plan” he starts whispering to each of them in a huddle

Twilight’s home, Library…

Fluttershy walking around and talking to Twilight whom was studying on a new spell “Rainbow Dash just had a go at me just like that… all I did was tell her an friend of ours from when we was fillies at Cloudsdale Flight school was in town…”

Twilight had listened to her and even some of it was shyly said she caught what was being spoke of though “What exactly happen for Rainbow Dash to get annoyed with this friend of yours?”

Fluttershy recalled the event and spoke as she remembered it “Electuroo that his name, he got his cutie mark after finding out his talents and he still the same as ever but within a few days he just disappeared and found out that he and his parents moved from Cloudsdale to live in the city Hoovdon City”

“Hoovdon City? I heard of that place, it suppose to have the most amazing underground train network in Equestria and the Hoovdon Bell, the largest working clock and bell.” Twilight recalling some of the details of the city “I would love to see that city for real some day… sorry continue” she noticed she was getting excited about the possible idea of the city and not about what Fluttershy was saying.

Fluttershy continued to speak “he made a promise to make amazing cutie mark charms of our cutie marks when we get them, but then what he left without reason, Rainbow Dash didn’t want anything to do with him any more and called him a faker because of what happened, a month later we all got our cutie marks”

Twilight put the book down turning to her friend “It sounds rather strange just leaving like that, maybe there is a reason that they left, a better job, place or just his parents picked a bad time to leave when he got his cutie mark.” Twilight then thought about how he found them “How did he find you and Rainbow Dash?”

Fluttershy looked away “I-I can-can’t say, if I do it will get him in trouble with Princess Luna”

“What does this have to do with…” Twilight eyes widen “Oh my gosh you mean his the Thief that gives!? This pony Electuroo is the thief!?”

“Y-yes…”

Twilight was amazed “Princess Luna forgave him and Celestia did too since he gave all that bits and a sorry letter… I wonder where he is right now” Twilight searching for any spells on locating ponies. “Do you think he left town?”

Fluttershy shook her head “I-I do-don’t think so… I saw his humming bird a few hours ago”

Twilight heard a tap and look at the window “Fluttershy was this humming bird blue by any chance?”

“Oh yes why do you ask?” Fluttershy seeming a little lost by this question.

“Nothing, just that it by the window right now” Fluttershy looked at the direction of Twilight was looking at and gasped upon seeing it.

They stepped outside to see it fly down to a yellow pony stand there before them “Electuroo!” Fluttershy ran up to him and gave him a big hug “Oh my it great to see you again” she said with tears

Electuroo return to hug “It good to see you again Fluttershy, sorry about the hiding before.”

Fluttershy broke from the hug “Don’t worry about it. I am fine, thank you for the charm it beautiful”

Electuroo rubbing his hoof on the side of his head a little “Yeah I need your help with something, hope your unicorn friend is up for it too”

“I’m Twilight and what exactly you need help with?” Twilight came up to him and he starts talking to them quietly “Oh I see” Twilight getting the idea of what he was saying to them both quietly.

Rainbow Dash flew back to her home, it was getting really late and she had about enough of the day, after hearing about somepony of her past in Ponyville got her really anger. “Why did that jerk have to show up after all this time…” she grumbled and push open her door to see a note on it “huh what this?”

Rainbow Dash took it off and starts to read it “Got something really cool to show you at the treehouse.” She saw it was signed by Scootaloo “how in the hay did she get to my house and manage to put this here”

“Hi Rainbow Dash” Rainbow Dash heard Pinkie Pie and turn to see her appear before her eyes and drop from sight “What are you doing?”

Rainbow Dash watched Pinkie Pie bouncing up and down on her trampoline “That explains Scootaloo getting up…”

“Yeah I helped” Pinkie Pie giggling as she continue to bounce on her trampoline “Rarity also helping too, oh that reminds me party cake!” she zips off back to Ponyville.

Rainbow Dash just stared at the distance of the town “Ok that was very random…” she took a look at the note “Better see what Scoots want” she flies off to the treehouse.

Upon arriving she saw the three little fillies waiting for her outside their treehouse waving to her to come down to them, she found it a bit odd seeing them out this late and wondering why Applejack not called Applebloom in or Rarity called Sweetie bell. “Hey there Crusaders what can I do for you tonight?”

Applebloom points a hoof to the treehouse “We got a mega surprise for you Rainbow Dash”

“Yeah it something you really would like” Sweetie Bell piped in and showing their cutest looks they could give.

Scootaloo waved her hoof “It really something Rainbow Dash, you have to see it, that why we left that note for ya”

Rainbow Dash laughing a little “Alright I’ll check it out” she walks up the door and opens it to see it was dark and looking around “Hey I can’t see a thing in here, what the hay is this surprise?” she turn to see the door shut and sealed by magic “What the?”

Rainbow Dash peeked out the window to see Twilight was casting the magic and to see Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Applejack outside too with the Cutie Mark Crusaders “If this is some joke, enough of it already and let me out”

Twilight shook her head “Sorry I can’t this time your on Fluttershy’s terms…”

“What does that suppose to mean?” Rainbow Dash hit the window to have no effect on it. “Gah Fluttershy if your in here what the hay is going on!?”

Fluttershy sitting by a window with the light shining through from the moon “Hi Rainbow Dash, it wasn’t exactly my idea but I thought it was best I went along since it is our friend we here to talk about”

“Oh please not this again, for the last time I don’t want anything to do with that jerk or want to talk to him” Rainbow Dash hit her hoof on the wooden floor with annoyance.

She turn to a sound of walking and stepping into the light was Electuroo “Then just listen to this jerk and find out what really happened” he said calmly staring at her with a small smile.

“Fine whatever… lets get this stupid show dealt with and I can get back to my home and get some zzzs” Rainbow Dash crossed her front legs as she sat there with her head turned away and eyes closed.

Electuroo laughing a little catching her attention for a moment “Just the same as we was very young huh Rainbow Dash?” she just closed her eyes again ignoring him. “Fine… here the deal, I didn’t have a choice in the matter, my mum and dad just had a job in Hoovdon City… I thought I was going there for a short stay but then I started attending school there and found out that we not going back to Cloudsdale… I didn’t understand why and I regretted them doing that… I had a rubbish time at school there, no friends, no social life… nothing I was partially locked away in my own thoughts, drawings and stories… my own fictional world…” He recalling his life before his own mind eyes seeing the amount of unhappiness he had.

Rainbow Dash open her eyes on hearing this turning slightly as he continued to speak “I became the Masked Bolt a few years ago just to get some sort of respect back and soon found I could use it to help others and make sure they never had the pain of being alone as I was… then I met Zippy” he raise his hoof and the humming bird lands no it “She became my only friend and on my travels the manager took notice and I became a marketing tool that gave him profit even if most was given away. Still I enjoyed the life for a time…” he walking back and forwards as he spoke on about his past events. “But one thing I kept thinking about was you two… my best and true friends… when I found out you two got your cutie marks a month after I left Cloudsdale I started to do my own checks and well became famous again for the wrong reasons…”

Rainbow Dash shook her head “Always act before you think huh Electuroo?”

“Yeah pretty much the case… but all I got to say now is sorry… sorry for never contacting you two… never able to see you two till now… I been a real idiot… I never get things right… never…” he sighs turning away “If you wish to still hate me go ahead I won’t hold it against ya”

Rainbow Dash stood up walking up to him “How can I hold something like that against you?” he turn to her seeing Fluttershy ready to explode with excitement “Heck you came all this way from Hoovdon to find us and give us the promised gift… I should be the one saying sorry. Can you forgive a stubborn pony like myself?”

Electuroo raised the small box up “What ya think?” he smirked and she took it and opened it to see her cutie mark as a charm necklace.

“Oh my gosh this is so amazing!” she put it on instantly “Fluttershy what you think?”

Fluttershy thought of the words and spoke it out “20% cooler?” she wasn’t sure if she said it right.

“Oh yeah I am” Rainbow Dash smirked looking to each of them “How about it for all time sake?"

Fluttershy jumped up on her hind hooves “Oh yes please! I really would love to”

“I’m game” Electuroo put his hoof out

They all put their right front hoof out standing up on their hind legs with wings opened and touching each tip of each wing and moving together to the right and switching hooves and moving to the left and doing a twist that clapped hooves and land on all fours laughing as they managed to pull their signature friendship once more.

The sound of laughing coming from inside made all the ponies outside smile with their knowledge of knowing that Electuroo, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash had made up and became good friends once more “I think we can call that a success” Twilight lowers the barrier around the treehouse.

Applejack turn to the fillies “Ya’ll did good girls, great job”

“Score one for the Cutie Mark Crusaders!” they clapped hooves with a cheer with the three ponies standing outside the treehouse smiling to the three fillies with the others joining around them congregating them on a job welldone.

Electuroo turn to his right to see Pinkie Pie and her cannon “Guess what we do when there a new pony in town!” Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy quickly moving out the way

Electuroo spoke out the answer she wants “Throw a party?”

BANG

Electuroo gets blown off his hooves and lands on the ground with confetti and streamers all around him and he sat up laughing “I should of saw that coming” he laughing even more with all the ponies around him and his little friend Zippy the humming bird

Next Day…

The gathering crowds as some of the Pegasus ponies finish setting up the black clouds in a set places with the ponies standing on top of them ready to set them off. The Masked Bolt stood at the start of the course with a smirk through the cloak off with hat he opened up his yellow wings swishing his tail a little and leans forwards with the wing muscles stretched out.

“Are you all ready!” the pony managing for the Masked Bolt the crowds of ponies cheering specially Scootaloo, Sweetie Bell and Applebloom being able to have front seats with the six mares. “Then you know what to say!” he called out

“READY! SET!” they all saying together and the ponies jump on the clouds setting the lightning strikes off as they clear away from the clouds “GO!!!”

The Masked Bolt flies right into the first storm and bounce off it at lightning reflex speeds hitting the next and next with the crowd of ponies going wild over it, Princess Luna and Celestia watching from their booth was enjoying the show too as he came to the last cloud hitting it he close his front and hind legs close together and spinning around he twists and comes to a landing on all four hooves sliding to a stop right before them and the front seaters with a smirk and salute finishing the Thunder Bounce dare devil stunt.

Princess Luna gasped “I-it the intruder…”

“Are you sure?” Celestia was surprised

He bowed to them and pulled off the mask and goggles “Yes she is Princess Celestia, me and my friend did intrude on the castle that night” Electuroo showing his face to the crowds they gasping “I am Electuroo the Masked Bolt now unmasked, after talking to these amazing little fillies and with my foalhood friends Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy I decided to unmask myself for the world to see and to be held accountable for actions I foolishly took to find my foalfriends… for that I accept any punishment” he spoke out loud and clear to every pony to hear and approached the stands.

Luna had to ask the two mares “Is this true? He thy friends of yours?”

“Yeah it true, he most likely was looking for where we stayed and that most likely he was in the castle that night” Rainbow Dash backing up for him “He always been doing things that act and speak before he thinks but still a good friend… a friend that keeps a promise” she showed her necklace to the Princesses

Fluttershy joins in and stands beside Rainbow Dash as they stood with Electuroo “Oh yes he did, he promised us on the day he got his cutie mark that we would get a charm each of our own cutie marks when we got them” she showed hers as well. “Even if we haven’t seen each other for years we still very close friends”

Celestia saw this friendship between them “There will be no punishment Electuroo, I can see you speaking before us and reviling yourself to be the Masked Bolt really shows how far you will got for your old friends and new friends” she hints to the Cutie Mark Crusaders “But I do suggest asking next time, breaking into ones home can get you into a lot of trouble”

“Yeah I guessed that from the newspaper reports, that why I always left money behind and made sure my friend Zippy didn’t break any locks and such when we entered” he put his hoof out and the little blue bird zips out of nowhere and lands on his hoof “My good buddy Zippy the humming bird, she, fast and has amazing humming tone” he nudge her gentle with his head and she returns it with a hum.

Luna smiled soundly with a nod “For thou your fast I can see why thy Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are your friends. For them to stand up for you is commending and here is your bits back” she was about to toss them over to him

He raise a hoof “No keep it and use it for something good, I been doing these very stunts with my talents in lightning to give everypony I met a better life then I had… you see Princess Luna I had a rough foalhood after leaving Cloudsdale and living at Hoovdon, I was picked on a lot” he walking over to the three little fillies “I wish to do something that could cheer up those that get picked on to show there isn’t anything to be afraid cause at the end of the day the bullies only bully cause they afraid your better than them” He turn around to the two princesses

“A respective goal indeed my little pony” Celestia seeming to understand what his intentions are. “Twilight Sparkle I believe this shall go into your friendship report correct?”

Twilight step up to the Princess “Indeed, it never nice to see somepony get bullied cause they different, strange or even just a complete mystery” She turns her head slightly to Pinkie Pie and continues to talk to Celestia. “He really cares for those around him more than himself” she watching him giving Scootaloo his goggles and she hugging him with joy and the other two joining as Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash stood by him and Spike taking a picture of them together. “The magic of friendship really does come in all shape and sizes, even times apart”

“Indeed it does my faithful student” Celestia turn to them talking and laughing.

Later that day at the train station Electuroo stood before the nine ponies as his manager and the two body guard ponies enter the train “Your going already? But why?” Rainbow Dash hoping to spend some time with her friend

“Wish I could stay but I need to go home and get things straighten out there first, mum always said that it would take me to explore Equestria and to show off my talents to find long lost friends.” He laughing a little “She always had a way with words… dreams are deep as feelings and memoirs, seeing into ones dream is peering into a memory”

Rarity came up to him “Well darling it seem your mum is wise with wisdom and grace, take this gift from me and wear it with pride” Electuroo took the sleeveless jacket putting it on “Now you look like a stud”

“Wow Electuroo you look good in it” Fluttershy shyly spoke seeing how he looked in his new jacket.

“Definitely 20% cooler in my books” Rainbow Dash raised her hoof up and Electuroo clapped it with a laugh in return to her own laugh

Electuroo turn to the train as the whistle blows and gets on board “I will make sure to write to you girls more frequently and maybe you girls might like to visit Hoovdon City someday”

“That mighty sweet and will make sure to see if we can” Applejack turning to Applebloom and the other little fillies.

“Of course we will, your our friend after all” Rainbow Dash grinned “That way we can race again after all this time and prove that you won all those years ago in flight school was just by dumb luck”

Electuroo rolled his eyes “Whatever you say Dash” the train starts to move and he waves to them “See ya!” he called out and his humming bird Zippy flying into the train and waving it little wing as well as the train disappears into the distance leaving Ponyville

All the ponies waved to him as the train leaves for Hoovdon City with Scootaloo looking to Rainbow Dash “You lost a race to him?”

“Yeah but that was before I got my cutie mark” Rainbow Dash starts to tell Scootaloo about it and her friends listen to this tale as well and someday Rainbow Dash look forward to that very rematch as she spoke to her friend and the Crusaders at the train station.
